I even hit a few old ladies with my bus thanks to misjudging how the hefty machine manoeuvres. The driving model is good but not perfect and I would often incur lots of fines for silly things like hitting the curbside or twatting a signpost when I was sure I was coming in right on the bend. It’s not all easy, though.Ĭreating routes with specific demands can be time-consuming and fiddly with a gamepad, especially with the need to balance peak times and demand, and that’s before you’ve driven the route, scored well, and then added another machine and worker to the fleet to work the route for you.ĭriving around is good fun, though, if you find this kind of thing fun.

While the under-the-hood stuff is daunting at first, I appreciated that the game did hold my hand for a long time and guide me with constant “quests” that levelled me up, got me funded, and taught me the basics of managing my bus empire. Is it too much to ask for an office away from the actual office? Like, another simulation inside a simulation? I guess they’re saving that to add to the wall of weird at Saturn. For those wanting to really get into the nitty-gritty, there’s a lot going on away from the comfortable cabin, though we’re still yet to get an office to work from.
